How to Start Writing About Yourself

How to Start Writing About YourselfEvery day people ask me how to start writing about yourself. How to begin writing about the activities and interests that they care about? And yet, how do you explain to people that this is just a personal hobby you enjoy doing, without actually revealing your true identity?'Okay,' you might be thinking, 'these are just amateurs, amateur journalists, amateur novelists, amateur athletes - not professionals - so you can take your own privacy with your head buried in the sand. That is not fair!' But what about the common person who is trying to understand how to start writing about themselves?Unfortunately, the first thing most such personal blogs and websites will do is create a paper trail. After all, that is the point. Now that you have written a bunch of words about your interests, projects, and activities, you may as well write about yourself! Right?In order to get past this, you will need to identify your 'writer's self' or persona. Don't worry, you won't have to become 'That Guy.' Just think of it as a building block to put the building blocks of your personal blog together.Your personal blog, journal, or other site that you create about yourself will need to be about topics that are of interest to you. Find a niche that you feel comfortable blogging about and then become the writer of your blog. Once you can focus your blog on topics that are of interest to you, you have begun to build up the foundation for writing about yourself.Most importantly, don't allow any other people to dictate what topics you talk about. As much as possible, don't submit a post to an unrelated blog, online magazine, or news website. This will not only be a waste of your time and efforts, but also a waste of the resources that others spent weeks creating and submitting to a site that wasn't even about you. If you truly want to start writing about yourself, your blog needs to be about your interests and experiences, not about other people.Whether you use your own blog, a WordPress blog, or something else, you will want to add graphics and photo to help build up your personal blog. You can add videos to your blog, or images to help illustrate your points.So, how to start blogging about yourself? Just add some personal flair is the key to writing about yourself.
